“I think he’s a top player. He’s got the right attitude to be a Manchester United captain.”

Robson, speaking on the Official Manchester United Podcast, added: “Harry had done really well in the World Cup with England.

“You’ve got to be a demanding figure on your team-mates, an organiser - and I think Harry portrayed that as soon as he came into the club.”
